"It doesn't matter whether the poor man makes any noise when he walks, what matters is how to solve the father-in-law's troubles!" Sun Simiao looked at Lu Chen with a smile, and casually sat on the chair opposite Lu Chen.
Sun Simiao has been here with Lu Chen for a while. Although he calls Lu Chen "Mr. Gong", the relationship between the two is more like a year-end friendship, so Sun Simiao is quite casual in front of Lu Chen. I guess It also has something to do with the fact that Sun Simiao is a foreigner and Lu Chen is a time traveler.
"Old god, do you have any good ideas?" Lu Chen looked at Sun Simiao and asked.
"Pindao doesn't have any good ideas. It's just that some time ago, before I came to my father-in-law, I discussed some alchemy methods with some fellow Taoists in Zhongnan Mountain. I wonder if it would be of any help to my father-in-law?" Sun Simiao After saying that, without waiting for Lu Chen to speak, he strolled out of the side hall with a smile, leaving only Lu Chen who looked at Sun Simiao in astonishment.
Looking at the back of Sun Simiao leaving gracefully, Lu Chen was just stunned for a while, and then smiled helplessly. Unexpectedly, in the end, he actually asked this old god to help him shoulder the responsibility. Sun Simiao said this, just to make the explosion happen. By putting the matter on him, Lu Chen could deduce that the elixir furnace exploded while Sun Simiao was studying the elixir, and Lu Chen would not be held responsible. This was simply an "unexpected disaster" for Sun Simiao.
However, if Lu Chen wanted to suppress the gunpowder issue at the moment, he must have said this. He could only find a way to compensate the old god later. Lu Chen made up his mind, got up and left the side hall.
Afterwards, Lu Chen finished washing up and was eating breakfast when someone came to report that Qian Junnan was here.
"Is there something urgent for you to come to me so early?" Lu Chen asked while eating breakfast and looking at Qian Junnan standing in front of him.
"I'd like to inform you, sir, that I contacted Luo Lifu from Pingkangfang without permission!" Qian Junnan directly bowed and apologized.
"Luo Lifu?" When he heard the name Qian Junnan mentioned, Lu Chen stopped the chopsticks in his hand and thought about it. He seemed to have heard this name somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while, so he thought hard. one time.
"My lord, I am the organizer of the literary society you attended last time, Luo Douzhi!" Seeing that Lu Chen seemed to be unable to remember who Luo Life was, Qian Junnan reminded Lu Chen in a low voice.
"Oh!" At Qian Junnan's reminder, Lu Chen remembered who this "Luo Life" was, "If you said Luo Duzhi, I would have remembered it! It turns out her name is Luo Life. !" When he thought of Luo Douzhi, who was wearing a veil and a voluptuous figure, Lu Chen nodded, "This woman has some tricks up her sleeve!"
Being able to become the "knowledge" of Pingkangfang and being able to keep her body as pure as jade shows the thoughts and methods of this woman. Lu Chen did not expect that Qian Junnan would go to Luodu after being humiliated like that at the literary meeting last time. Know.
"Are you sure this woman will sincerely cooperate with you?" Lu Chen put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a brocade handkerchief, and then waved to Su Chang. Su Chang immediately brought the maid over and removed the bowls and chopsticks. A maid on the side offered mouthwash. Lu Chen rinsed his mouth and then took the teacup offered by another maid.
"This evil old society!" Lu Chen felt so comfortable being served that he couldn't help but cursed in his heart. Although he had been living like this these days, after getting used to it, he felt that being served was really damn good. comfortable.
Su Chang left with her maid, and only Qian Junnan and Lu Chen were left in the room. Lu Chen looked at Qian Junnan, took a sip of tea, and then said, "Tell me, what did you promise her?" Lu Chen looked at Qian Junnan and asked.
Lu Chen didn't believe that that woman could do such a big favor for Qian Junnan unconditionally, and Qian Junnan was a businessman himself. What could he give Luo Life? Help Luo Lifu escape from the sea of misery? Even if Qian Junnan has the financial resources, does he have the connections? Don't mention his clan uncle, he himself has to pay tribute to this clan uncle every year!
"The villain has made the decision without authorization. After the promise is fulfilled, she can serve the father-in-law!" Qian Junnan bowed to Lu Chen and saluted, with sweat on his temples and said in an uneasy tone, "The villain knows that doing this is really offensive to the adults. It is a sin, but when I think of the errand assigned to the villain by the adult, the villain has the courage to make this decision! If the adult wants to punish the villain's sin, I hope that the adult can punish the villain after finishing this matter. The villain will be punished!"
"Have I said that I will punish you?" Looking at the anxious look of the little fat man Qian Junnan, Lu Chen smiled and thought to himself: "This little fat man is really good at talking, and he is really good at manipulating people's hearts! "
"The villain is acting in the name of an adult. Don't you feel angry?" Qian Junnan looked at Lu Chen in disbelief.
"Your trick of pretending to be a tiger's power is quite good, but if you don't take advantage of me, how sure are you of convincing Luo Lifu to help you in this matter?" Lu Chen rubbed the lid of the tea cup and looked at it. Qian Junnan asked.
"The villain has no confidence at all!" Qian Junnan replied sincerely. After all, his identity is just a businessman. Although Luo Lifu is in the dust, she is also a prominent person in Pingkangfang. As a person, people look down upon me, a businessman like me.
"That's it! As long as you handle this matter for me, then your merits will be equal to your faults!" Lu Chen put away his smile and looked at Qian Junnan with a serious face.
"Yes! The villain will do his best to complete the tasks assigned by the adults!" Qian Junnan replied confidently.
"Well! Then do what you should do!" Lu Chen nodded, picked up the tea cup, and Qian Junnan knowingly saluted Lu Chen again before bowing and exiting the room.
"He is cautious and a little naughty, but he is a man of things!" Lu Chen murmured as he looked at Qian Junnan's back as he turned away.
The reason why Lu Chen let Qian Junnan leave so easily was that, firstly, it was indeed Qian Junnan's job to handle the matter, and secondly, Lu Chen also wanted Luo Lifeu, a figure in Pingkangfang, based on his many years of experience. Experience shows that a place like Pingkangfang, where three religions and nine streams are mixed, can be said to be the place with the most news. Of course, there will be both true and false news, but it cannot be denied that this kind of place is the easiest place to obtain intelligence and information.
If someone like Luo Lifu could help him, Lu Chen would know everything about the big and small affairs in Chang'an City. But whether Luo Lifu is really reliable, this matter Things still need to be investigated further.
Qian Junnan left Lujiazhuang this time, and a new round of impeachment against Lu Chen started in the court.
The content of the impeachment is naturally the incident involving the loud noise and billowing black smoke that Lu Chen caused yesterday. Qin Qiong and others who were on the side of the military commander were all insiders of this matter, so this time the target of the attack was not only the Lu Chen was involved, and these generals from Tiance Mansion were also involved.
"As far as Wei Chen knows, Duke Yi, Duke Su, Duke Huo and Duke Ren were all guests at Lu County's mansion yesterday. I'm afraid these people should be very aware of the loud noise and black smoke, right?" At this time, Zheng Shanguo, who was standing in the Tai Chi Hall, looked at Qin Qiong and others with an unkind expression. It was obvious that Zheng Shanguo wanted to tie these people together and give Li Yuan the impression that Lu Chen was forming a clique for personal gain.
"You old man talks so interestingly!" Unexpectedly, as soon as Zheng Shanguo finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin walked out of the morning class and stood opposite Zheng Shanguo, looking at Zheng Shanguo with disdain, "What, our old Cheng Just to be a guest at Lu County's house, do you need to know what they are doing at home? Don't you think that when you are a guest at Xiao Yu's house, you also have to visit their back house? It's really interesting, you!"
"Mr. Su Guo, don't change the subject. Is it possible that there was such a loud noise in Lujiazhuang? Aren't you all curious?" Zheng Shanguo scolded Cheng Yaojin directly and then asked.
"You're so curious!" Cheng Yaojin glared at Zheng Shanguo, "You also know that there was such a big noise, who knows if there will be any follow-up dangers, you bunch of scholars are still talking about 'a gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall', Why did you turn your head and let us people go to that place? Old man Zheng, I think you are uneasy and kind-hearted! You are curious, why didn't you go and see for yourself and ask? "
"General Cheng, don't mess around. What we are talking about now is that there may have been casualties in Mr. Lu's family, and Mr. Lu concealed the matter and refused to report it!" Zheng Shanguo visited Lu Chen today and there was a loud noise in Lujiazhuang yesterday, which may have caused casualties. However, neither the yamen of Chang'an County nor Jingzhao Prefecture received Lu Chen's report on casualties.
"There are no casualties, so why are you willing to kill a few of them?" After hearing Zheng Shanguo's words, Cheng Yaojin retorted again.
"Okay! Stop arguing!" Seeing that the quarrel between Cheng Yaojin and Zheng Shanguo was getting more and more intense, Li Yuan could only give a cold shout with a stern face. As Li Yuan's voice came, the two could only stare bitterly. The other party glanced at him, saluted Li Yuan, and stood there.
"What's going on? Just send someone to inquire! How can you argue for more than an hour on just such a small matter?" Li Yuan glared at Zheng Shanguo and Cheng Yaojin respectively, "Chang Bao, order someone to go to Lujiazhuang to inquire. Let's do it!" Li Yuan directly ordered Chang Bao. Chang Bao accepted the order, waved his whisk, and left the Tai Chi Hall. He called for an internal servant and asked him to lead the imperial guards to Lujiazhuang to ask Lu Chen about yesterday's events in Lujiazhuang. There was a loud noise and black smoke rising into the sky.
Now that Li Yuan has made his decision, Zheng Shanguo can only temporarily cease his activities, while Cheng Yaojin glared at Zheng Shanguo triumphantly and returned to his position.
"Master, there's someone in the palace again!" Lu Chen was about to go to Liulicongfang to ask Xiang Zheng and others to make a magnifying glass. As soon as he left the gate of the mansion, he ran into Meng Ji who came to report.
